Which Is The Best of Them All – Hard Decisions, Smart Choices

Abstract

How do we make the best decisions in face of voluminous, complex, changing, and uncertain information? We describe a multi-disciplinary effort in developing the next generation decision analytic and engineering technologies. We explain the goals, the approaches, the achievements, and the evolving plans of the project. We illustrate the ideas and issues explored in various biomedical domains, with related information ranging from genes to humans.
